A change doesn’t guarantee that all problems will be solved, but Google has confirmed that the upcoming mid-range phone, expected to feature an […]
The research outcome of Korea Electrotechnology Research Institute (KERI) related to “low-cost and flexible high-energy-density lithium-sulfur batteries” was recently published on the front cover of the journal Small. Unlike the existing lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) that use nickel, cobalt, and other expensive rare-earth elements as cathode materials, the lithium-sulfur battery applied sulfur, one of the most […]
Researchers have used a widespread species of blue-green algae to power a microprocessor continuously for a year—and counting—using nothing but ambient light and water. Their system has potential as a reliable and renewable way to power small devices. The system, comparable in size to an AA battery, contains a type of non-toxic algae called Synechocystis […]

Solid-state batteries, with no liquid electrolyte, have been (like fleets of hydrogen cars) just around the corner for a long time. But commercialization is finally approaching, the companies say, and along with advantages over traditional lithium-ion in safety, weight and energy density, add a potential ability to fast-charge regularly with reduced battery damage. The San […]
